MLB Hot Bats
MLB Hottest Bats, Pete Alonso Leads the Week
Published
Pete Alonso 
Alec Bohm 
Yandy Diaz 
Chase DeLauter
Hitting is contagious, streaky, and gloriously unfair, and the only honest way to track it is the box score. From the last seven days of captured games, minimum 8 at-bats to qualify, here is who is genuinely hot.
The hottest hand
Nobody is squaring the ball up like Pete Alonso (BAL) right now: twelve hits in 22 at-bats across six games, a .545 pace that leads every qualified hitter we track.
Spread it out and that is 2.0 hits a game, every game, for the whole stretch, not one big night propping up a quiet week.
Add two home runs and 5 RBI, and you have a hitter carrying his corner of the lineup.
The chase pack
Right behind him is Alec Bohm (PHI), who has gone 11-for-19 over the same stretch, a .579 pace with one homer and five RBI.
Yandy Diaz (TB) has quietly gone 10-for-27 (.370) with two homers and four RBI.
Add Chase DeLauter (CLE) to the watch list as well, 10-for-24 over the stretch with one homer and one RBI.
Also swinging it well: Alec Burleson (STL) 9-for-21, Corbin Carroll (ARI) 9-for-22, Jac Caglianone (KC) 9-for-22.
By the numbers
For the scan-and-go crowd, the leaders in one place:
| Player | Team | Line | AVG | HR | RBI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pete Alonso | BAL | 12-for-22 | .545 | 2 | 5 |
| Alec Bohm | PHI | 11-for-19 | .579 | 1 | 5 |
| Yandy Diaz | TB | 10-for-27 | .370 | 2 | 4 |
| Chase DeLauter | CLE | 10-for-24 | .417 | 1 | 1 |
| Alec Burleson | STL | 9-for-21 | .429 | 2 | 12 |
Worth remembering
Qualification here is simple and strict: at least 8 at-bats and more than one game inside the window, so a single loud afternoon cannot crowd out a real heater.
Small samples run hot and cold by nature. Treat this as a snapshot of who is seeing it well right now, not a forecast of anyone's next at-bat.
One to circle: Baltimore Orioles meet Tampa Bay Rays in their next game, and we will find out quickly whether this stretch travels.
